One evening Mike’s father gives Mike a new book. “Read this book, Mike”, says Father. “All boys and girls like it.”

“Thank you, Father”, says Mike and takes the book.

But this evening Mike is very sleepy. He only looks at the pictures of the book. Then he puts it on the bookshelf and goes to bed. And at night he has a dream. In his dream he opens the book and looks at the pictures. At one of them he sees a boy.

But what is it? The boy comes out of the book and says, “How do you do? What’s your name?”

“My name is Mike. But who are you?” asks Mike.

“My name is Tom”, says the boy. “I have Brother Sid. We live with our Aunt Polly. What about you, Mike? Have you got any brothers and sisters?”

“No, Tom, I haven’t”, says Mike.

“No brothers and no sisters? I say, Mike. Let us be friends. I have a lot of friends”, says Tom.

“Well”, says Mike … And he wakes up. He opens his eyes and gets up. Then he goes up to the bookshelf.
